Hey there, no clue on Win8, no reason to use it, 7 is clearly superior unless you *need* touch screen support. However, I ran into issues with needing to update my Mobo Bios. After updating those, and a call to Gigabyte, the folks walked me through any issues. I'd suggest calling Gygabyte and going through their tech support to see what is wrong.

Question 3

Hiya! I'm Thinking about upgrading from a R9 280 to this product. I'm a PC noob at upgrading and was comparing my card with this. just to be truthful. I don't understand all of it. I also heard. my R9 280 really rely on the CPU a lot. So. is this a lot better than the R9 280?

Accepted Answer

I upgraded from a cruddy R7 so my performance increase was out of sight! Couldnt speak to a 280-380 difference, however I'm enjoying the 380 so far. Runs everything I play on max settings with no hitching.

Question 4

So I saw someones review on this card, and they said the fans would rub un against the other card in crossfire. Does anyone know if they would stil rub if you took off the backplate on one of them? I have an mATX build and I wantedto do crossfire with these cards.

Accepted Answer

Sorry, not running crossfire.  I was disappointed when Arkham Knight would still crash on average settings  :/  However, all my other games run on high to ultra settings just fine.

Question 5

Had an issue with another r9-380 card needing a 64-bit OS and that not being shown in the Newegg specifications info.  Does this one also have that requirement?  Anyone know if it is possible to get an AMD Win7 32 bit driver for an r9-380?

Accepted Answer

32-bit OS can't address more than about 3.25 GB of RAM anyway... spend your money on a modern OS before this.

Question 6

compatibility question: DELL-XPS-8300, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 20480MB RAM, DirectX 11, current video card AMD Radeon HD 6570. I want to play Fallout 4 can you recommend some compatible video cards please?

Accepted Answer

First it depends on your budget, 2nd you should do the free upgrade for windows 10, 3rd what kind of settings do you plan to run F4 on. Answer these questions and it will be easier to answer your question.

Question 7

I have PCIEx16 2.0. Is this card backwards compatable?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 8

This shows an 8 pin power connection.  Could I connect this to my 6 pin connection with an adapter and would this be advised?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 9

This card has 2 buttons, Silent and Stop.  These are on the card.  What do they do?  I'm assuming it slows the fans to a silent level and it also can stop them entirely.

Accepted Answer

No there are just lights, if they are on it means the fans are not spinning.
